This next generation Global Positioning device features high sensitivity with the ease of touch screen control. The built in HotFixR feature is a satellite prediction program that improves the satellite acquisition in heavy cover and in deep canyons. There is only one button for turning the unit on or off; all other features are accessed using the touch screen menu. The touch screen is 3” diagonal, with 65,000 colors for a high resolution view of your map. The preloaded base map covers the world, with coverage of the United States in more detail. Other maps, such as topographic maps or maps of more detail or various countries, can be downloaded through the MicroSD card (not included) or the USB data cable. The electronic compass is 3 axis, tilt compensated, and shows the 8 cardinal points. The compass is marked every 15 degrees, is accurate to 2 degrees, and has a resolution of 1 degree. The electronic altimeter provides a range of from –2000 to 30,000 feet (-610 to 9144m), with an accuracy of 10 feet and a resolution of 1 foot. GPS accuracy is 33 feet (10m) (depending on Selective Availability), and can be enhanced to an accuracy of 10 to 16 feet (3-5m) when using the WAAS. Data can be transferred wirelessly between other Oregon GPS units, or you can use your MicroSD card (not provided) to store and share map data. The Oregon can also provide area calculation, plotting elevation, manage waypoints, help with trip planning, waypoint averaging, calendar, calculator, alarm clock and more. The Oregon 450 is waterproof, and is just 4.5 x 2.3 x 1.4” with a weight of 6.8 oz. with batteries. Uses 2 AA batteries, which are included and provide approximately 16 hours of continuous use. The internal memory for map and data storage is 850 megabytes. You can store up to 2000 waypoints and 200 routes.
